4.10.8 Removing the HP ProLiant BL480c from the c-Class Enclosure
To remove the HP ProLiant BL480c server blade from the c–Class enclosure, follow these steps:
1. Identify the proper server blade and back up the data.
2. Depending on the Onboard Administrator configuration, use one of the following methods
to power down the server blade:
• Use a virtual power button selection through iLO 2. This method initiates a controlled
remote shutdown of applications and the operating system before the server blade
enters standby mode.
• Press and release the Power On/Standby button. This method initiates a controlled
shutdown of applications and the operating system before the server blade enters
standby mode.
• Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server
blade to shut down. This method forces the server blade to enter standby mode without
properly exiting applications and the operating system. It provides an emergency
shutdown method in the event of a hung application.
Important:
When the server blade is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided. To
remove all power from the server blade, remove the server blade from the enclosure.
After initiating a virtual power down command, be sure that the server blade goes into
standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber.
3. Remove the server blade, as shown in Figure 4-29.
